The protege of Sasa Sestic, managed to impress the jury with her coffee. For you who didn’t get to watch the live streaming of WBC 2018 a while ago, here is Agnieszka’s coffee recipe!

In this event, Agnieszka Rojewska was using Ethiophia coffee in her milk beverage. To optimize the taste of strawberries in her beverage, she prepared uses an intense espresso, putting 23 grams in the basket and 36 grams out using the Victoria Arduino Black Eagle machine. She also added 3.5 ounces of milk to get a taste of chocolate milk and warm strawberry jam.
